Beady Lil' I's
Meet the Maker
I am a soon-to-be retired middle school math teacher after 30 years in the classroom. I was always drawn to the beadwork done by indigenous peoples and others who are so very skilled in this art. I was looking to start something for myself that 1 - Did not involve teaching in a classroom; and 2 - Whatever would become a relaxing, creative outlet for my Pisces soul. My years as a musician allowed me that outlet, but at this point in my life, I needed something different; something I could see and feel, and watch form. I loved playing with snap beads as a child. I spent hours trying to make "jewelry" with different color combinations and never tired of the trial and error. It's much like that for me today. i can get lost in trying new designs and creations of my own. I can also find the work of others to inspire and motivate me, to learn something new from, and delight when someone finds what I create desirable.
Thank you for taking the time to take a look at my work. I appreciate you
